| Concurrent and predictive validity of different tools for malnutrition diagnosis in adult critically ill patients: a systematic review with meta-analysis of observational studies.
The prevalence of malnutrition was 45%, associated with an increased risk of death and longer ICU and hospital stays, but the certainty of evidence was very low. Pre-registration at prospero CRD42023431480. |

| Biomarkers for dietary fatty acid densities among postmenopausal U.S. females derived using a habitual-diet human feeding study.
Combinations of log-transformed metabolite concentrations can lead to objective intake density estimates for multiple FAs in the diets of U.S. postmenopausal females, with relevance to the reliable study of dietary FA densities and chronic disease risk. |
| Genetic influences on diet in young Swedish adults: a twin study.
This large-scale twin study provides a comprehensive overview of genetic and environmental influences on dietary behavior in young adults, showing substantial genetic and nonshared environmental contributions across diverse dietary traits. These results provide a foundation for future research on diet-disease relationships and may support the development of prevention and intervention strategies, including emerging precision-nutrition approaches. |
| Interactions between genetic predisposition to obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes risk and food or beverage intake for incident type 2 diabetes: European Prospective Investigation into Cancer (EPIC) InterAct case-cohort study.
Genetic susceptibility to high-risk metabolic traits did not modify the diet-T2D associations in European populations. Acknowledging the limitations of current PRS-based methods to detect gene-diet interactions, research should continue into the potential for precision nutrition and tailored food-based dietary guidance for T2D prevention. |
| Maternal Smoking, Lactation and Risk of Incident Irritable Bowel Syndrome in Offspring: A Large-scale Prospective Cohort Study.
Maternal smoking is associated with a higher risk of incident IBS, while exposure to lactation is associated with a lower risk. These findings underscore the potential impact of early-life exposures on gastrointestinal health. |

| Endoscopic and pathologic findings of esophagogastroduodenal involvement in Crohn disease in Korea: a prospective single-center cohort study.
The proportion of esophagogastroduodenal involvement was relatively high among Korean patients with Crohn disease who underwent EGD. In patients with elevated fecal calprotectin, EGD with histopathological examination is recommended to identify esophagogastroduodenal involvement. |
| Plasma Proteomics for Risk Prediction and Therapeutic Target Discovery in Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
This study identifies novel plasma protein associations with CD and UC, supported by genetic evidence, and highlights their potential as therapeutic targets. Plasma proteomics significantly improves risk prediction for incident CD and UC compared to traditional clinical models, offering new avenues for drug discovery and personalized risk assessment. |
| The Prevalence of Chronic Opioid Use in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Nationwide Danish Register-Based Study Over a 25-Year Period of Time.
Many patients with IBD rely on chronic opioid use as part of their pain management. Further investigations are needed to study the complications and sequelae of chronic opioid use in patients with IBD. |

| Association between endo-histological outcomes and colonic mucosal transcriptomic profiles in patients with ulcerative colitis receiving filgotinib.
Filgotinib improved endo-histological outcomes in patients with UC, with a dose-dependent effect on transcription. Gene expression changes and enriched pathways suggest that achieving endoscopic and histological endpoints in patients receiving FIL was associated with the restoration of mucosal homeostasis. |

| Early graft failure after adult living donor liver transplantation: A multicenter risk analysis and development of the early allograft failure in living donor liver transplantation (EAGLE-LDLT) model.
Preoperative and intraoperative clinical factors predict EAF in LDLT. The EAGLE-LDLT model accurately identifies LDLT recipients at highest risk for EAF postoperatively. |

| Comprehensive Assessment of Direct and Passive Smoking Across the Pancreatitis Spectrum.
In this multicenter study, we affirmed an association with smoking use and intensity with CP-related complications. For the first time we report a high prevalence of prior exposure to passive smoking in al pancreatitis subtypes, which require further study to understand the impact on disease outcomes. |
| Early-stage Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Diagnosis is Inversely Associated with Travel Distance and Travel Time.
Patients in less socioeconomically deprived neighborhoods are diagnosed at earlier stage despite traveling longer distances and times. |

| Objective measurement of plasma fluid deficit, sequestration and redistribution of fluid in body compartments in patients with predicted severe acute pancreatitis.
The objective measurement of fluid distribution in body compartments revealed a modest plasma volume deficit in AP, supporting the rationale behind moderate fluid therapy to replenish the plasma volume deficit, rather than the total fluid sequestered in the interstitium. |
| Plasma factor VII activating protease: An early biomarker of disease severity and clinical outcomes in acute pancreatitis.
Plasma FSAP level can serve as a biomarker of disease severity and prognosis in AP. |
